This is the second of three items that will be made in my Sept 12th Gift Set Class. All three projects are now on my Classes/Workshop Samples Page.
This is a Post-it-Note holder. I tried making one with out the Bind-it-all, but it's just a lot easier doing it this way.
I used two coasters and covered it with paper. I died the white ribbon with my Regal Rose marker to match the scallop.

I just love this level three hostess set, Window Dressing. I think it may be the kitty!
I used some of the new In Colors too. The Baja Breeze and Pink Pirouette are really great colors.
I couldn't figure out where to put the verse so I just left it off. Not all cards have verses on the front.
This card will be one of the cards for my August 14th class.
My classes are filling up fast so make sure you sign up early.

We are heading to Disney World in 23 days!! We are pretty fanatic about Disney. My 8 year old has been 12 times.
She's really not into the autograph thing anymore, but she's interested in the "Hidden Mickeys". So I made her this little book so she can go on a Hidden Mickey Hunt.
The pages inside are printed so she can keep track of what date she saw the Hidden Mickey, which park and near what attraction.
This book is just too cute! I don't want to give it to her, I'd like to keep this one for myself!

I've been so busy lately that I haven't done any of my own cards. This card was done for our swap last week. Karen P. is the author of this lovely card!
Also, stay tuned for upcoming changes to my web site and class schedule.
The fall is just around the corner and I'm planning on lots of classes for everyone to make great gifts for Christmas.
Remember, the new catalog is coming out in less than a month and this is your last chance to order all items that are retiring. Contact me today to place your order.

These are the two projects we will be doing in Sept. I originally wanted to do them in Aug but the items are on back order until Aug 11th.
My up line did a workshop for us and gave us the instructions for doing this cute calendar.
I used different paper than she did. I wanted showcase the new Simply Sent Kit that's coming up in the Fall and Winter Catalog.
These will be great Christmas gifts for all my daughters' teachers this year!!
I'm really warming up to the Old Olive color. I've been using it a lot lately.
This is more of the Simply Sent Kit.
I REALLY love the colors from this set and the stamps that are included.
The Simply Sent Kits are great for beginners as well as more advanced stampers.

Trying out some new. I'm trying some more simple looks. I don't think it's me! I like lots of layers! There is glitter on this of course, but I still think it's missing something.
I have a product workshop next week and I think I'd like to do this one, but I need to work on it. a little. Stay tuned!

I'm trying out a new camera angle.
This one I tried the light coming from the side.
I think I like it better, what do you think?
If you click on the picture, you can see it better.
This is Fresh Cuts set.
I was going to do this card Friday night, but I think I'm going to save it for my workshop on Wed.

This is more like my style.
The dots on the scallop look better in person.
I'm trying to use up my "Out Colors" :) The In Colors will be retiring soon so time to deplete the stock.
The colors I used on this card are Soft Sky and Not Quite Navy.
This card will be one of the cards at my upcoming Stamp-A-Stack.

Ok, tried to design something without CASING.
I like the design, need to work on the colors.
I used the Red Riding Hood from the new In Colors.
Love that red!
I died the ribbon with the re-inkers.
It came out looking like Purely Pom.
I really hope they come out with ribbon to match!
I also used the new scallop punch to make the fence.
It's very cool!
Stay tuned after I get the new catalog.
I hope to do this card better next time!

I got some of the new product that's coming out in the Fall and Winter Catalog.
This card was inspired by the new Simply Sent Kit that is in it.
I didn't use any of the items in it, I just used the colors.
It's a beautiful kit, I can't wait to demo it!
I also was dying to use the build-a-brads. They really add a lot to the card!
The only thing I would change is the tag. I thought the designer paper I bought was the More Mustard, but the tag is More Mustard so I'm not so sure now.

Today is our 9th wedding anniversary.
My husband has been great over the past few years putting up with my stamping addiction.
I always give him a stamped card. After all these years, he finally gave me a stamped card!
I had to look at it a few times before I realized he used REAL stamps!
He found a bunch of old stamps in his drawer and decided to use them for my card. Very creative guy he is!!
This is the other card we are making on Friday's workshop.
I saw an invitation to the Artisan Award dinner at the upcoming Stampin' Up Convention, which I can't go to :(, and I just copied the design using the Seaside stamp set and one of the new ones coming out in the upcoming catalog.
I also want to use up some of my 2007-2008 In Colors.

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. We were on Cape Cod for the long weekend.
All weekend, I couldn't wait to get home and open my SU order! As a Demo, I got to pre-order the new In Colors and some stamp sets.
I bought all the new colors and some great stamp sets. Stay tuned for those! Everyone coming to my workshop on Friday will get to see the goodies.
This card is for the two swaps I'm doing this month. I'm doing a demo swap on Tuesday and I'm hosting a swap at my home on the 18th. I figure I would use the same card.
I'm really going to miss this stamp set. Unfroggettable. I want to use it as much as possible. I was inspired by Michelle in Texas who used this set and papers.
